About

Since 1998, Hector's Mariscos on Chula Vista's Broadway corridor has served Baja-style Mexican seafood from Suite 14 at 1177 Broadway, operating as a Latino-owned and women-owned establishment with a second location in the Eastlake area. The kitchen's raw bar turns out ceviche, aguachile, and shrimp cocktails from the same South Bay seafood supply chain that stocks the fish counter at Carnival Supermarket on Broadway. Signature cooked plates include Popeye-style oysters—battered and fried on the half shell—Puerto Nuevo-style lobster, chipotle-glazed shrimp, and tacos del gobernador stuffed with melted cheese and grilled shrimp. The bar program features house margaritas and micheladas built on Clamato and house-blended spice rims, and a full catering arm extends the mariscos menu to private events in the same South Bay circuit served by Tres Fuegos Cocina's event packages. The devil's-delight-style fillet arrives as a pan-seared white fish topped with a three-chile cream sauce, sautéed bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms, then plated over cilantro-lime rice.
